Summary

On May 16th, 2003, an unknown gunman walked into the Blue Ridge Savings Bank in Greer, South Carolina. After producing a 40 caliber glock handgun, he robbed the bank and then gathered one employee, Sylvia Holtzclaw and two customers, Eb and Maggie Barnes and led them into a back room. There, the gunman opened fire, killing all three.

For the past seventeen years, Sylvia's son David has fought to keep this case in the public eye in hopes that the killer would be found. Despite three prominent suspects over the years, the truth of what happened that day remains concealed and the killer remains unknown.
